Monument record MDO19347 - Bargates, Christchurch (site X17); possible Bronze Age round barrow
Please read our guidance about the use of Dorset Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
The examination of the Christchurch Tithe map (1844) in conjunction with an excavation at Bargates, Christchurch, during 1977 (site X17), revealed a semi-circular field boundary in the area of tenement plots behind the Bargates frontage. It is thought that this might represent the position of a third round barrow in the vicinity of the excavated ring ditches 1 and 2.
